Always On Virtual Care
A 24/7 second set of eyes powered by Sensi AI, working alongside our Somerset & Hunterdon caregivers.
In Partnership With Sensi
Meet Sensi: Your Virtual Care Companion
Somerset and Hunterdon are full of seniors who built a life on their property — farms, family homes on long driveways, quiet streets in Bridgewater, Hillsborough, and Flemington. The challenge is that they're often alone for long stretches, and adult kids live further away than they'd like.
Always Responsive Home Care has partnered with Sensi — a virtual care companion that works in the background 24 hours a day. Sensi is a small, audio-only sensor placed in your loved one's home that watches for the events that matter: a fall, a call for help, the early signs of a urinary tract infection, a missed medication, a change in routine. The moment something shifts, our team is alerted.
Combined with our in-home caregivers, the result is a blended care model: human presence during scheduled hours, watchful oversight every minute in between.
Watch
See Sensi in Under a Minute
A quick look at how the pods work, what they detect, and how alerts reach our Somerset & Hunterdon team.
As Easy As 1, 2, 3
How It Works
Sensi is up and running in under five minutes, and our team takes it from there.
Pods Plugged In
Three audio-only pods plug into outlets in the rooms your loved one uses most. Under five minutes, no drilling, no wearables, no cameras.
Care Need Detected
Sensi learns the daily rhythm for two weeks, then watches for falls, distress, infection signs, missed medication, and changes in routine.
Care Team Alerted
Urgent events trigger an immediate alert by phone, text, and email. Slower-moving trends show up on our dashboard for review.
Always-On Assessment
What Sensi Detects
Sensi identifies more than 100 care insights, grouped into the categories that matter most for seniors aging in place in Somerset and Hunterdon.
Falls and Physical Distress
Detects falls, calls for help, and signs of difficulty with everyday tasks — vital for seniors living on rural properties in Hunterdon or in family homes far from the nearest neighbor.
Early Infection Signs
Spots subtle indicators of urinary tract infections — increased nighttime trips, confusion, agitation — often days before a trip to RWJ Somerset or Hunterdon Medical Center.
Cognitive and Emotional Changes
Picks up on changes in tone, longer pauses, and other early indicators of cognitive decline or depression that get harder to spot when family lives further away.
Medication Management
Identifies missed doses and signs of medication confusion, helping us correct issues before they affect health.
Caregiver Quality and Match
Gives our office visibility into how the client and caregiver are clicking, so we can step in early if something isn't working.
Routine and Sleep Trends
Tracks long-term changes in sleep, mobility, and activity so we can update the care plan before things escalate.
Our Process
How We Roll Out Always On Virtual Care
From your first call to our office to the first alert, our team handles the setup and the response.
Care Consultation
A coordinator from our office meets with you and your loved one — including at the property if travel is tough — to understand the daily routine and the moments you worry about most.
In-Home Setup
Our team brings the pods to any home — Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Bedminster, Flemington, Clinton, Frenchtown — and validates the install in under five minutes.
Two-Week Learning Window
Sensi learns your loved one's normal so future alerts reflect real changes, not noise. Our coordinator reviews the findings with you at week two.
24/7 Response
Alerts go to our team day or night. You get a single point of contact for everything Sensi flags.
Most Somerset & Hunterdon families have Sensi active within a week of their first call.
Real Outcomes
Why Somerset & Hunterdon Families Love It
Blended care delivers measurable peace of mind for the senior, the family, and the caregivers we send into the home.
Fewer Hospitalizations
Agencies using Sensi have reported up to a 22% reduction in hospitalizations — fewer trips to RWJ Somerset, Hunterdon Medical, or Morristown.
Longer Time at Home
Whether home is a Bridgewater split-level or a long-held Flemington farmhouse, Always On Virtual Care helps your loved one stay there longer.
Relief for Adult Children
Many Somerset & Hunterdon families have adult kids two or three hours away. Our team is alerted before you are — and we call you, not the other way around.
Audio-Only, HIPAA Compliant
No cameras, no video. Audio is processed securely and used only to detect care events.
Holistic Care Plan
Our care coordinator uses Sensi's trends to update the care plan continuously, not just at quarterly reviews.
Aging in Place
Somerset & Hunterdon seniors don't want to leave the property they spent decades building. Sensi makes that realistic for longer.
Why Us
Why Local Families Trust Somerset/Hunterdon
Always On Virtual Care is offered as part of our caregiver plans and as a standalone Sensi Solo option for families who aren't ready for a caregiver yet.
Trusted Sensi Partner: We work directly with Sensi, used by more than 80% of the largest home care networks in North America.
Privacy First: Audio-only sensors, no cameras, HIPAA-compliant cloud, role-based access for our Somerset & Hunterdon care team only.
Local People Respond: Every Sensi alert reaches a real person in our Franklin Township office — not a chatbot, not a dashboard.
Blended With Hands-On Care: Sensi extends your caregiver's awareness; it doesn't replace them. Add more in-home hours any time.
Rural-Friendly Setup: Even on properties where the nearest neighbor is half a mile away, Sensi runs on the home's existing Wi-Fi — and our coordinator helps if connectivity needs a boost.
Same-Day Activation: When a Somerset or Hunterdon family is in crisis, we can often install Sensi the same day.
For Families Not Ready Yet
Not Ready for a Caregiver? Start with Sensi Solo.
A lot of Somerset & Hunterdon families are dealing with the same problem: a parent who is technically fine, until they aren't. Sensi Solo is for everyone in that gap.
Same three pods, same AI, same care team behind it. The only difference is that there isn't a caregiver in the home yet. You get 24/7 oversight, real alerts, and a coordinator who already knows the situation — so when the day comes that you need more hands-on help, we're already a step ahead.
Privacy You Can Explain to Your Parent
Most older adults don't want a camera in their bathroom or bedroom — and they shouldn't have one. Sensi was built around that principle.
Audio only. No camera. No video. No facial recognition. Sensi senses care-related sounds and processes them in a HIPAA-compliant cloud. Conversations aren't recorded for family review, and our team only sees alerts and trends — not raw audio.
The system is encrypted in transit and at rest, protected by multi-factor authentication, and access is limited to the care professionals on your loved one's plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Always On Virtual Care?
Always On Virtual Care pairs Always Responsive's Somerset & Hunterdon caregivers with Sensi, an AI-powered audio sensor placed in your loved one's home. Sensi monitors 24/7 for falls, distress, early UTI signs, medication errors, and changes in routine — and alerts our care team in real time.
Does Sensi use cameras?
No. Sensi is audio-only. There are no cameras and no video recording. Audio is processed in a HIPAA-compliant cloud and only used to detect care-related events.
We're out in the country — will Sensi work over our Wi-Fi?
Sensi runs on the home's existing Wi-Fi. For homes with weaker connectivity — common in parts of Hunterdon — our coordinator can review the setup and recommend a router upgrade or extender if needed, before we install the pods.
How is Sensi installed in my Somerset or Hunterdon home?
Our team comes to the home, places three small Sensi pods in the rooms your loved one uses most, and validates the install. Setup takes under five minutes.
What does Sensi detect?
Sensi identifies over 100 types of care insights — falls, infection signs, cognitive changes, medication mismanagement, and shifts in daily routine. The system learns your loved one's baseline for two weeks.
What is Sensi Solo?
Sensi Solo is the same audio-monitoring service offered without a hands-on caregiver. It's designed for Somerset & Hunterdon families who aren't ready for a caregiver in the home but still want 24/7 oversight.

What Families Are Saying
Testimonial: Mom lives on twelve acres outside Flemington and refuses to leave. I'm in Pennsylvania and my brother is in Boston. Sensi Solo gave us breathing room — and when it flagged that she was up wandering one night, the team had us on the phone before I'd finished my coffee. We were able to bring in a Hunterdon caregiver that week. Without Sensi we'd have learned about it from an ER doctor.
